Total Drama World Race- Brazilian Pain Forest
Recap
The episode began with Chris in his pilot outfit, "Previously on Total Drama World Race. Our competitors competed in Iceland with a choice of three challenges, either feast, fossil, or phrase."
Blaineley was the next one narrating "For Team Amazon, Scott told Courtney he was now willing to send Heather out. While Cody told Mickey about his theory that Emma and Kitty are sisters, yes, I know that sounds absolutely insane, but regardless. Team Amazon dominated the challenge and secured an easy first place win and a new couple was formed with Anne Maria and Topher much to Zoey's chagrin."
"Elsewhere on Team Victory, Leshawna was being tempted by Alejandro and was left confused, while Cameron revealed his rocky relationship with his mother to Millie, meanwhile Shawn and Brody's brains were fried as Jasmine and Geoff decided to take their part in the challenge." Chris narrated. "Lindsay struggled in the challenge but managed to eek out a second place finish for her team."
Blaineley was the next to speak up, "However for Team Style they managed to lose the challenge and overall had a total slum of a day. Despite a strong finish Eva came back and threatened to beat up former teammate Owen, a new bond was formed with Bowie and Justin with Bowie deciding if he should save team outsider Jo, Team Style ultimately lost the challenge when Jen couldn't quite get herself focused on the challenge after an awkward encounter with Trent." Blaineley said as the recap showed each of these events.
Chris finished the recap, "At elimination however Jen completely avoided even getting any votes as Bowie took advantage of Eva's outburst against Owen, and sent Eva packing and kept Jo still in the game. However Julia, wondering if this move was against her so she and Jo can keep targeting each other, vowed to find out who was responsible for leaving her out of the vote and making that group crumble.." The scene then flashed to the pilot compartment, "We are down to 39 competitors and this plane is ready for take off, who will be the next camper sent home. Find out tonight on Total Drama World Race!"

(End Of Intro)
Common Area
The episode kicks off showing Owen and Noah sitting next to each other at the table, with Owen having a guilty look while Noah looked like he didn't care, "Are you sure buddy, that you're not mad at me voting Eva out tonight?" Owen asked in concern
Noah rolled his eyes, annoyed at his best friend for asking this for the now 5th time since the elimination ended, "Owen, I'm not mad, the votes were already there to send Eva out. Besides she also voted for you." Noah explained as Julia walked by both of them, "Now her, I think she's mad."
"Oh definitely." Owen said in agreement.
Julia, who heard Noah and Owen, turned around to face them, "I'm fine, why don't you mind your business, Noah." Julia said in a rare bout of anger, that shocked both Owen and Noah.
"What's wrong with her?" Owen asked.
Confessional- Julia
"Ugh, that stupid egghead Noah is right, I'm annoyed and quite frankly pissed off about that last vote." Julia explained. "Jo was supposed to go home, and now she's here, just perfect. I am going to find out who orchestrated this whole thing, and I have an idea of who would be willing to squeal."
Back To Scene
Julia had made her way to the end of the common area where Brick was eating food by himself, Brick who noticed her looked up, "How are you doing Madam Julia?" Brick politely asked.
Julia looked around the room, the only people in the common area were Owen and Noah having a conversation and were too focused on it to notice anything else, Tyler and Lindsay who were making out, and Millie who was looking out the window. Realizing no one was paying attention to her, decided to let the facade slip, and kicked Brick right in the shins. Despite Brick being physically tough, the attack caught him completely off guard, "What was that for?" Brick asked in shock.
Julia deepened her scowl at Brick, "You can stop acting so innocent. I know you voted Eva out." Julia accused.
Brick nervously looked around, before deciding that being honest was the best route to go, "Okay I did, but I don't see what the problem is."
Julia however was not satisfied with the answer, "That's not good enough Cadet." Julia taunted as she stepped on Brick's foot as hard as she could.
Brick yelped out in pain, "Physically abusing me won't change anything. What do you want?" Brick asked, as he was scared of what Julia was doing.
"Who spearheaded the vote to send Eva home tonight, and I want names or else I will keep hurting you until you snitch." Julia threatened.
"I am not telling you." Brick said looking away, trying to get the conversation to end.
Julia decided that being the bad cop was officially getting her nowhere, so she had to be good cop, or at least good cop in her eyes, "Aw but Brick you shouldn't go against your code of honor and honesty now should you. So, tell me. Or I will make you sleep in the pitch-black tonight." Julia threatened.
"You wouldn't?" Brick asked as Julia nodded her head to confirm her threat. "Okay fine, Bowie wanted to target Eva, he gathered the votes I think, he told me that he wanted Jo to stay and that out of Owen and Eva, he would rather see Eva eliminated." Brick explained.
Julia, satisfied with Brick's answer, told Brick, "Thank you Brick, good to know you are an honest player." Julia then walked away, thinking of how to use this information to her advantage.
Brick, looking back at his food, simply sighed "I hope I don't regret this."
Economy Class
In another part within Economy Class, the camera focused on Harold and Leshawna who were cuddling with Ezekiel walking up to both of them, "Aw looks like the happy couple is doing well aren't they, eh." Ezekiel teased.
Harold, who was flushed with embarrassment, stood up from Leshawna to talk to Ezekiel, "Things are going well, I guess. Ezekiel." Harold said as Leshawna began walking away, however the more Harold thought of it, he decided that since Ezekiel already knew about him and Leshawna he could be honest with him. "Nah, I am actually the happiest I have been, things with Leshawna are amazing."
Ezekiel admittedly was very happy for Harold "Aw dude, eh, that's awesome."
"It is, it really is, but Leshawna and I have agreed to keep it on the down low, I mean the only reason you know is well.." Harold said trailing off,
"Because I saw you guys cuddling a few days ago, and you don't have to stress eh, I haven't said a word to anyone, not even Cameron knows anything." Ezekiel reassured. "I'm really happy for you."
"Thanks. Zeke." Harold said. "Look we aren't friends yet, but this does mean a lot.
Confessional- Harold
"How are things going in the game?" Harold asked, before chuckling. "They are going great. Team Victory is on a winning streak, I have the girl of my dreams in Leshawna, and it couldn't be better." Harold said getting his composure back. "Provided one caveat of us being together was me trying to befriend Ezekiel after everything that happened in New York, and he and I are getting along pretty well, we also have an agreement to not target each other or our number one ally in the game, for me it's obviously Leshawna, and for Ezekiel it's Cameron."
Confessional- Ezekiel
"I have to admit eh, it was nerve wracking at first trying to become friends with Harold, but it seems like he is willing to open up with me, and it's nice. We aren't friends like he said eh, but maybe we will be soon."
Back To Scene
"Wait, where did Leshawna go?" Harold asked looking around confused,
Millie, who was just walking into the Economy Class section, spoke up, "She told me she wanted some alone time in the cargo hold, probably to destress and vent."
"Can't blame her, this game is stressful, eh" Ezekiel lamented.
Cargo Hold
In said cargo hold Leshawna was walking around, wondering about her position within Team Victory, she had her final 2 with Harold that was now a relationship, she still got along with Bridgette and Lindsay, and with them comes Tyler, and even if Bridgette and Geoff are broken up, she felt safe with Geoff and Brody. She also felt like all of the newbies on her team got along with her. "This will work out." Leshawna told herself.
As she was walking around, Alejandro came down to talk to her, having overheard Millie. He was still trying to figure out how much use he could have with Leshawna, "Ah the lovely Leshawna, I was just walking around here, wondering if anyone was down here. Once I saw you, I knew I had to talk to you." Alejandro told Leshawna.
"Oh I'm flattered, sweet cheeks, but we're on different teams." Leshawna reasoned.
"Oh, but I'm a gentleman and teams are meaningless to me." Alejandro confidently said, as Leshawna blushed at the comment.
Leshawna however knew she needed to get away from Alejandro, "I have to go somewhere else, it's not you. But I've been here for a while." Leshawna said quickly walking away.
Confessional- Leshawna
"Ah Alejandro he's good and he is so good looking." Leshawna then paused. "But I am already dating Harold now and I don't want to date two people as I am not a damn player. But Harold and I have agreed that besides Ezekiel no one else can know about us being together, it's just so complicated. I don't know."
Confessional- Alejandro
"Ah Leshawna, she's hiding something, I can tell. I'll find out about it sooner than later and use it however I deem fit."
First Class
In the First-Class section of the plane, the camera showed Katie and Ella in the middle of a conversation, "So let me get this straight, you joined an arts and craft school so you could make you and Sadie's outfit from scratch?" Ella asks.
"Right! It's probably the thing I am most proud of." Katie gleamed before sighing. "I just hope she's doing okay."
"You really miss her don't you? Ella asked giving Katie a rub on the shoulder to comfort her.
"Ugh, more than anything. We've known each other for as long as I can remember" Katie said sadly looking out the window,
"I'm sure she would want you to stay strong and keep fighting. I know I'm not Sadie, but I've been a good replacement friend for you, right?" Ella once again asked.
"You have, it just never gets easier, as this is now the longest we've been away from each other as if I survive today it will officially be the longest we haven't seen each other," Katie reasoned. "There was a part of me this morning that wanted to throw the challenge just so I could be reunited with her."
Ella looked at Katie sadly, before an idea seemed to pop into her mind, "Instead of throwing the challenge, use this day as a redemption type of thing. Show everyone that you can do anything on your own, and trust me, Sadie will be proud of you no matter what." Ella said, giving Katie a pep talk.
Katie and Ella hugged as Katie was starting to regain confidence, however Katie also looked out of the window and noticed something, "Hey guys, not to alarm anyone but I think we're still in Iceland. I still see the park. Shouldn't we have taken off by now for the next destination"
Heather, who was walking by both Katie and Ella had a huge scowl on her face, "We should have and I am gonna give Chris and Blaineley a piece of my mind."
Katie and Ella both looked at each other in slight worry as Heather looked really angry. "Uh oh." Ella said in fear.
Outside The Plane
As all 39 contestants stepped out of the plane everyone was confused, with Heather asking what was on everyone's mind, "Why the hell is there another plane here?"
"Also why is it exactly like the tub of a junk plane we already ride in?" Anne Maria asked.
Blaineley and Chris quickly stepped into the scene so no one would ask any more questions, "It plays a role in today's challenge."
"Yep, the Total Drama jumbo jet is back in action, but we along with Don Strauss decided that not everyone is riding on the jet." Chris explained as the mention of Don Strauss and his name made Scott and Topher think in deep thought.
"So are we having a triple elimination today or something?" Julia asked.
"No, no one's going home, yet. Today's destination is Brazil, specifically Rio De Janeiro." Chris announced as many people cheered.
"Fun fact, Brazil is home of bossa nova music, and coffee." Harold stated.
"Ooh a coffee contest would be awesome." Damien bemoaned.
"Easy there Damien, this challenge has nothing to do with coffee but by the end of it you may want some with how tired you'll be." Blaineley stated, trying to get everyone interested in the challenge. "Now each team will have duos on the other plane aka the milk run." At the mention of the milk run Mickey gulped in absolute fear. "Luckily for you guys we have decided on the duos." which for the time being that relaxed Mickey's nerves.
Chris spoke up next, "Yep. Our first duo is Bridgette and Shawn." Bridgette was relieved as she figured with the plane being called Milk Run that it would involve animals. Shawn wasn't as thrilled as he was mostly healed from electrocuting himself a couple days ago, but he was still having lingering anger from the DJ elimination. "Team Style's duo will be Duncan and Justin." Neither Justin nor Duncan were happy about being paired up, as the two didn't get along well last season, and while they had voted together in the past there was no trust between them. "Our final duo is Zoey and Mickey." Chris announced. For Zoey she was happy to be able to spend most of this challenge by herself after everything that happened yesterday with Anne-Maria and Topher.
Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for Mickey who instantly froze in fear, "Oh boy." was all he could say as he was scared that his lactose intolerance was going to be in full effect today 'I'm screwed' Mickey thought to himself.
"Okay now that the milk run duos are established the rest of us are going to finally depart from Iceland in the regular plane and explain the other parts of the challenge." Blaineley said as she began escorting everyone back into the plane.
"Milk Run plane, your plane won't take off for another couple of hours. Everyone else get back on the plane."
Confessional- Bridgette
"I am fine working with Shawn for this challenge despite us not having much in common. But I wanted to maybe lead the team to victory today. But we will be fine today, I hope."
Confessional- Duncan
"I have to spend the whole day with Justin." (Sarcastically) "Great, I'm thrilled in case you can't tell." (Back to normal tone) "Yes, he and I have voted together to get rid of everyone who has left the team so far. I mean we're not Noah who has only voted Lorenzo out." Duncan said mocking Noah. "We don't have anything in common and we haven't actually talked to each other since last season when he was eliminated. But I do want to ask him about Bowie as he is the only thing we have in common, and I'm confused about their friendship."
Confessional- Mickey
"I'm actually interested in spending time with Zoey today, as outside of the Yukon challenge, she and I haven't gotten to really know each other, mainly because I am always making sure Cody's okay and isn't getting harassed by Sierra, while she has love goggles for Topher." Mickey explained. "It's just the idea of being on a milk run has me nervous since I'm lactose intolerant and not having either Cody or Kitty with me doesn't help."
Original Total Drama Jumbo Jet
Back in the regular plane, specifically in the common area, Chris was announcing the challenge "The theme of today's challenge is centered around Carnevale."
Lindsay instinctively raised her hand in confusion "We're all going to a car show?"
Damien facepalmed at what Lindsay just said and spoke up, "No Lindsay. It's the Rio Carnivale, not a car show."
"I've read up on this, it's a very festive activity-" Cameron began to say until Chris interrupted him with a loud cough.
"If there are no more interruptions I would like to continue. This is actually a huge challenge and will be divided into groups. Each team has to have dancers, costumes and a decorated animal to show off for the day." Chris explained.
"Does this mean we'll have to wrestle animals or something disgusting like that?" Heather asked as Scott shrugged his shoulders at her question while Ella looked disgusted at that notion.
"No, I'm still getting complaints and lawsuits from people after I shot the eagle during Season 1. Hence why the milk run plane is here, that is where the animals are."
"You shot an eagle?!" Ella asked in fear and disgust.
Milk Run Plane
The show flashed to show Chef with each of the 3 duos, "Your role in this challenge to Brazil is to pick an animal and decorate them for what we have planned tonight for the challenge, when we land in Rio De Janeiro you will shop for material to decorate your animal. Oh, and the designs have to be legal, Duncan!" Chef yelled out.
"You don't have anything to worry about." Duncan replied back in snark.
"Anyways, you guys will have 3 hours to shop and another couple to decorate." Chef explained. "Animals are first come, first serve so have at it while I get ready to fly this sucker," Chef explained.
Almost immediately Duncan and Justin claimed the goat, "This is perfect, I have a lot of ideas for this little devil." Duncan said in a sinister tone before the goat headbutted Duncan. "That's smarts."
"Ha, you had it coming jerk." Justin said.
Bridgette and Shawn walked up to claim the sheep, which left Zoey and Mickey with the cow, as Mickey said to himself "Oh boy."
Zoey overhearing Mickey raised her eyebrows, "Is something wrong? You look nervous at least more than usual. Not that there's anything wrong with being nervous." Zoey defended.
"I'm just nervous, that is all, I have severe lactose intolerance so I wonder if being near the cow will trigger it. Nothing has happened yet so maybe this will be okay" Mickey explained, trying to calm down.
"Well, we've claimed the cow, so we don't have to be near it at least." Zoey told Mickey as both walked into a separate room.
"As long as I am away from that thing, I should be okay." Mickey stated.
Main Plane
Back at the regular plane Chris was continuing to explain the challenge, "Each team has a dance leader and a fashion designer leader today, the dance instructors are Heather, Bowie, and Leshawna"
Heather cheered "Perfect. This is amazing!"
Leshawna was also very happy, "Woohoo, I've always wanted to teach my dancing skills, this can't be any better," she said happily.
Jasmine walked up to Leshawna, inspired by her boost of confidence, "Someone is ready to lead this team." Geoff, who was next to both of them, tapped Jasmine on the shoulder, "What's up mate?"
"Leshawna's dancing is notoriously bad." Geoff explained which made Jasmine raise her eyebrows in doubt while Leshawna rolled her eyes in annoyance, that people still doubted her dancing skills.
Chris coughed loudly to get everyone's attention "Anyways, our fashion designers are Katie, Jen, and Lindsay."
At both of them being announced Jen and Lindsay, both grabbed each other and squealed in happiness, "OMG!" both said at the same time, which annoyed everyone who wasn't them or Trent and Tyler.
"I have so many potential visions for this, I am so excited, ah!" Lindsay said as she couldn't keep her excitement under control.
"This was destiny for me to do this." Jen stated.
Katie meanwhile didn't have much of a reaction, on account of her nerves coming up, and her being now in the spotlight with the challenge, something that Ella noticed "Are you okay?" Ella asked.
"I'm fine. Totally, absolutely, amazingly fine, like totally." Katie said, trying to convince herself, but not doing a good job of doing so at all.
"Now for the rest of you. The fashion models for Team Amazon that Katie will be designing on will be Sierra, Anne Maria, Topher and Ella." Chris announced.
"See, this will be great, we get to spend the challenge together Katie." Ella cheered as Katie still looked terrified at what she had to do.
"Team Style, your models are Trent, Alejandro, Brick, and Jo."
"Ugh, I don't do dresses or fashion at all." Jo said in utter annoyance, halfway expecting anyone to say something at her remark. But she did take pleasure in having Alejandro being forced to dress up as well.
"Team Victory, your models are Tyler, Brody, Damien, and Millie. Now for the sit outs for today's challenge Team Victory the person sitting out is Ezekiel"
"Woo-hoo!" Ezekiel cheered before noticing people like Jasmine, Leshawna, and Damien glaring at him. "Sorry, it's just that I would be awful at this challenge."
"We'll forgive you this time mate." Jasmine said.
"The two people sitting out for Team Amazon are Scott and Emma." Chris explained. "Which leaves Cody, Kitty, Gwen, and Courtney as the dancers for Team Amazon, the dancers for Team Style are Owen, Noah, Julia, and Sky, with Team Victory, your dancers being Geoff, Jasmine, Harold, and Cameron."
"I have to take instructions from her?" Gwen and Courtney yelled at the same time pointing at Heather as Heather had a smug look on her face.
"Oh this challenge is perfect." Heather bloated.
"Now time for the twist." Chris continued on.
"What else could we do for this challenge?" Brick asked.
"Well, what's a dance number without music, but the teams won't pick their own numbers. Heather picks the song for Team Victory, Leshawna picks for Team Style, and Bowie picks for Team Amazon. However, fashion designers, you will pick one of your models to sing said song. To the best or worst of their abilities. Any final questions?" Chris asked as no one raised their hands "Great. Blaineley, turn the autopilot off." Chris announced, as he ran back to the pilot compartment to help Blaineley with the plane.
Confessional- Gwen
"Great, I have to do a dance number today, even though I have no coordination? Perfect." Gwen said sarcastically. "Yep, today is hell, not helping is that Heather is the person I have to take orders from." Gwen complained before her mind went elsewhere. "But I do have Cody in the challenge with me today, so I can ask if he still has a crush on me, since it seems like ever since Egypt he and I don't talk anymore, and I want Scott to not remind me of him. Would be great if Scott would be here, as he told me has a plan to get rid of Heather but since he is sitting out, I can't talk to him about the plan. Oh, and also Duncan isn't here. Today is gonna be awful." Gwen said as her eyes widened at her mentioning Duncan, "Because he is a good friend to have around, yup. That's it."
Confessional- Sierra
(Tearfully) "The universe must absolutely hate me at this point. Ever since the Yukon, I never get pure 1 on 1 time with Cody, instead, I am stuck with Katie designing me an outfit." Sierra complained. "I am just going to be quiet today, as I am not with the man who should be with me."
Confessional- Lindsay
"I know that people usually complain here, I think, but oh my gosh this challenge is one I am so excited for. I get to show my fashion to the world. My sister Paula always says I have bad taste, but I will show her."
Confessional- Jen
"The universe must be out to protect me or something, first I get no votes after I messed up the last challenge, now I get a borderline fashion challenge to redeem myself?" Jen asked. "This day could go absolutely perfectly. I just have to play it perfectly. Which I will, trust me."
Milk Run Plane
Back in the milk run plane, Zoey and Mickey were sitting on the ground in an awkward silence. Neither had much in common and Zoey's mind was elsewhere as she looked sadly at the ground. "What's wrong Zoey? You've been unresponsive for the last hour or so." Mickey asked.
"It's nothing, I doubt you would understand." Zoey said looking anywhere that wasn't directly at Mickey.
"Does it have to do with Topher?" Mickey asked which made Zoey start to grow a frown on her face at the mention of the guy she so badly wanted to date, "Oh looks like it might be." Mickey said unaware that he was making Zoey grow increasingly angry.
"I just don't want to talk about it." Zoey said, trying to get the conversation elsewhere.
Mickey however didn't pick up on Zoey's cue, and continued on, "We're probably spending the whole day together so we might as well talk and get to know each other."
Zoey however was quickly growing impatient and something in her snapped and she said something she would instantly regret, as she towered over Mickey as she stood up, "Why the heck do you care Mickey, you've probably never been in love, so you don't know how I feel and will probably never will know how I feel as you have never been in love and never will be!" Zoey said as she yelled at Mickey, before instinctively covering her mouth realizing she went too far. "oh, I'm sorry… I didn't mean too-" Zoey began to say.
However, Mickey simply stood up and calmly spoke to her, "There's a reason why beyond my adversities why I am not the best at being in love or having strong feelings, but I'll leave you alone for the rest of the day and spend the day with the cow. At least it won't insult me. You went too far." Mickey said as he walked away.
Zoey was left in a state of shock and confusion, "I went way too far, didn't I?" Zoey asked herself as she sat back down in shame and contemplated everything she just said.
Meanwhile
In the main part of the milk plane Justin and Duncan were watching after their goat, or rather Justin was as Duncan didn't want the goat to attack him again. "This may be the worst smell I've ever had to deal with on the show." Justin bemoaned.
"Really dude, the stink bombs last season would probably want a word with you, that shit stank worse than Owen's farts." Duncan said.
The remembrance of the spy challenge and the stink bomb admittedly got Justin to laugh at that memory, "Heh, that's true. I have never told Bowie about how that whole thing went. He would be grossed out."
"Why would you tell Bowie about it?" Duncan asked, trying to pry into Justin and Bowie's blooming friendship.
"What does it matter to you, Duncan, you're the last person to try and pry into someone's life after how tumultuous your relationship is with Courtney." Justin instantly snapped back, not wanting to give Duncan any satisfaction. "You and Courtney are toxic together."
"Well, we aren't talking about Courtney and me. I wanna talk about you and Bowie." Duncan said, trying to deflect the conversation away from him.
"Here, I will talk about Bowie and I, if you are willing to talk about you and Courtney." Justin smugly offered, which Duncan just looked away clearly not interested in talking about Courtney. "That's what I thought, now shut up before the goat attacks you again."
Confessional- Duncan
"See this is why I can't stand Justin at all. He is a rude, arrogant, annoying pretty boy who thinks his shit doesn't stink. Just the way he was defending Bowie, is Justin?" Duncan said as he paused. "No he can't be, right?"
Amazon Dance Studio
The challenge was underway as everyone delved into their parts of the challenge, the filmed episode picked up on Team Amazon's dance studio with the scene beginning with Heather "Okay everyone listen up, for once, I am the one in charge."
"For once?" Courtney said in absolute bewilderment. "This is your first leadership role where you didn't force it down others."
"Do you have a problem?" Heather smugly asked.
"Nope, I'm just going to let you and your delusional self keep barking orders." Courtney sarcastically said.
"I'll have you know this type of challenge is something that I can actually be good at. Given my background in ballet dancing." Heather explained.
"I don't know a ton, but I am pretty sure ballet dancing and Carnivale are not even remotely similar." Gwen said.
"While true, I have a fair amount of knowledge in dancing in general and if I had to take a guess for Bowie, he is gonna do some girly romantic song given our team's layout." Heather explained.
"So, what is it that you're trying to get at?" Gwen impatiently asked. "You need to stop being so damn vague."
"Well, if Bowie goes for something romantic, we have to do a slow dance type and Cody will have to be our main dancer, since he is our only guy. So, I was thinking of having Kitty and Cody do a romantic slow dance with you Gwen, and Courtney as backup dancers." Heather explained
"That's not actually a bad idea." Gwen said in amazement, shocked she was agreeing with Heather, which was becoming a recurring thing.
"Wait, wait, Kitty and I aren't together, in that way." Cody defensively said, as he looked embarrassed and blushed.
"Well, no duh, nerd. But Kitty is the person you spend the most time with so it will feel the most real even if it isn't. You guys trust each other so this should come naturally for both of you" Heather reasoned. "Besides I assume that Courtney and Gwen don't want to be the main dancer?"
"Oh gosh no, I would only want to dance with Sco… Duncan. I only want to dance with Duncan." Courtney quickly corrected, wondering why to herself, she almost said Scott.
"Also, I don't have good coordination at all." Gwen reasoned.
"But…. but… but…" Cody said until Kitty put a hand on his shoulder, to calm him down.
"Don't worry this could be fun, and we are both secure in our friendship with each other that this won't change anything." Kitty said as Cody looked redder than a tomato in embarrassment.
"Okay then it's settled then, Cody and Kitty slow dance, Gwen and Courtney provide support." Heather instructed as she began to walk away.
"Wait, what about the song you have to pick for Team Victory? Do you have an idea for that one?" Kitty asked.
"It's already covered." Heather said.
Team Victory Dance Studio
At Team Victory's dance studio Leshawna was walking around pacing as Harold spoke up, "What's wrong Leshawna?"
"Just trying to think of what song Heather is going to make Tyler sing." Leshawna explained. "She is probably going to screw me over."
Cameron was the next to speak up, "Why would we have Tyler be the singer, and why would Heather screw us over? Didn't you both get along at the end of last season?" He asked in all sincerity.
Leshawna chuckled, remembering that Cameron was a newbie, before quickly realizing that she and Heather had made amends during the second season and no one outside of herself and Harold knew why she had begun hating Heather again. Leshawna took a deep breath and decided to explain "Well Tyler's probably going to be our singer because Lindsay's picking who our singer is, and she'll obviously pick her boyfriend. As for Heather and I? We were fine until she started picking on my girl Gwen during the whole blog stuff. I still feel bad that I was too busy to help her out. But Heather crossed a line doing that, so why should I be nice to her?"
"That's true." Cameron reasoned. "But let's not be rash."
"She won't, she's Leshawna!" Harold said in awe.
"Look, that's not too important, we need to focus on the dance routine so everyone should follow my lead." Leshawna said as she began dancing.
Unfortunately, her dancing from Season 2 hadn't improved at all as everyone sans Harold looked on in almost pure disgust at Leshawna dancing, as Jasmine leaned over to Geoff and whispered in his ear," You were right mate."
"I know." Geoff said looking away.
Team Style Dance Studio
"Ugh, I have no concrete ideas or themes for this dance number, I know the basics, but I don't have a great idea. If I had a suggestion partner up I guess. Probably Owen and Noah as a duo and same with Sky and Julia. I'll think of some basics but right now I have to submit the song for Team Amazon. I'll be right back." Bowie explained.
As Bowie left the room, Owen asked what all of them were thinking "Does Bowie have an idea what he's doing?"
"Nope, none at all. Come on big guy, let's get some of the basics, I had to go to one of my sibling's ballet practices growing up." Noah explained as he and Owen walked away.
Julia decided to once again let her more vicious side show, as she said, "Not shocked Bowie has no idea as he is a total snake and a liar."
Sky who had just overheard what Julia just said had a shocked look on her face, "What the hell are you thinking? Insulting Bowie behind his back? He's, our teammate."
"Just venting, and while he's our teammate he is my enemy, he left us both out of the Eva vote so I can't trust him as I was told he orchestrated that vote." Julia stated.
"Look, even if he did all that, we can still be nice." Sky tried to reason. "We are all teammates."
Julia however continued on, "I will be nice to his face, but I don't have to be nice behind his back. Besides he betrayed me, so I am never working with him again in this game. So, I don't need to pretend to be nice to him at all."
"Isn't that a very black and white way of looking at things?" Sky asked, confused.
"Heh, I'm sorry but weren't you the one who said you were never working with Jo after she sent Dave home." Julia accused.
"Yeah. Look outside of you, Dave was my closest ally and Jo directly sent him home. I don't believe you spoke more than 10 words to Eva." Sky said as now both were practicing basic dancing steps simultaneously.
"But when you're left out of a vote like I was for the first time you are at the bottom like we are right now." Julia explained before Sky interrupted her.
"Wait first time? This is both of our second times out of the votes as the Dave vote was either him or Alejandro and there wasn't a third option, and we both voted out Alejandro" Sky began to reason,
Julia quickly recognized her mistake and had to correct herself, "I meant two times, geeze Sky, have a little faith in your ally." Julia said, in a snarky tone leaving Sky more confused than ever.
"What is her problem?" Sky wondered.
Fashion Design Room Team Amazon
In the fashion room for Team Amazon, Katie had worked out the design for her team and was putting the costume on Ella first as the two girls were talking, "Are you sure you want me to pick you for the singing portion? I know that singing is your thing, but I want to make sure you're comfortable doing this."
"Oh of course I'm comfortable. I've got this. Actually, I am very well versed in music knowledge, I have genres I prefer but I'm a wealth of music knowledge in most genres, pop, rock, R&B, country, hip hop, you name it, I have some background in it, I obviously prefer fairytale soundtracks, but I will be fine." Ella reassured Katie.
Katie was starting to feel at ease with Ella reassuring her and breathed a sigh of relief. "You must be the female Trent." Katie joked.
"Trent, who's that?" Ella asked.
"The guitar guy on Team Style, the one who is always talking with that girl with the great fashion sense, Jen. He is so cute." Katie said giggling,
"Aw, does someone have a crush on Mr. Guitar guy?" Ella asked, teasing back.
"Yes and no. It's a bit complicated. Trent used to date Gwen, but they broke up last season, so Sadie and I wanted him to date either of us so badly, but he just wanted friendship with us, which while hard to an extent, I understand." Katie explained.
"Huh, Gwen never told me she dated Trent." Ella said.
This statement however threw Katie completely off guard, as she never saw Gwen and Ella interact. "Why would Gwen tell you about her dating Trent? I have never seen you guys talk."
Ella realized she messed up, but since it was only her and Katie in the room and she trusted Katie, she decided to tell her, "Well the thing is, Gwen is my cousin." Ella confessed.
"Oh wow. Oh my gosh I had no idea." Katie said excitedly. "Don't worry I won't tell anybody. Anyways, you are singing for our team and I bet Trent would be singing for Team Style."
"That's exciting as I've never heard him sing in a professional setting. I never paid attention to the Drama Brothers singing, but if I somehow got the chance I would love to talk with Trent."
"That's the spirit. You guys would be great together even as friends. I wonder what Trent is doing right now?" Katie asked as the camera flashed away.
Fashion Design Room Team Style
In the design room for Team Style was Jen getting proper measurements on Trent and focusing on the challenge at hand, "Okay that's it for the wingspan. Trent, can you spread your legs out so I can get your leg measurements?"
Trent quickly did as one could tell Trent was enjoying having this one-on-one time with Jen, he was unsure about Duncan's words the night before about him and Jen, but right in the moment he felt happy. "Yes Jen. You know I'm amazed with how serious you are taking this."
Jen rolled her eyes before continuing with the tape measure getting both legs as Trent yelped in pain, "Thanks. Now stand up straight!" Jen demanded.
Jen's competitive nature threw Trent off, "Why are you so focused on the challenge? We don't have to be judged for a few more hours?"
"Look, first of all my last challenge performance was a disaster so today is my redemption. Second of all I take fashion very seriously and if I mess this up, I might as well kiss my fashion blog goodbye as I want to in the future be a fashion designer and clothing maker."
"Aw, Jen, that's so cool." Trent awed as he kept making the necessary poses for Jen to help her with the challenge.
Jen however took what Trent said the wrong way and grew angrier. "It's cool that I'm panicking about my reputation within the fashion industry?"
"No, it's cool that you have your future all planned out and what you want to do in life. I would never say it's a good thing to see you stressed out." Trent explained.
For a brief moment there was an awkward silence that filled the room until Jen had her determined face back on, "I just need to focus."
"Oh okay." Trent said sadly.
Team Victory Fashion Room
With Team Victory the camera showed Lindsay and Millie with Lindsay looking excitedly at all her options "Mildred, this is such an exciting challenge for me as everyone kept saying I have great fashion sense and now I can put my money where my head is." Lindsay gladly exclaimed.
"Sure, but Lindsay, are you sure the colors of orange and pink as feathers go well together?" Millie asked as she was really nervous.
"It's so great hanging out with you since Beth is gone. I don't have many close female friends, it's like hanging out with my sisters where each of us pick each other's dresses and my sisters would pick my dress. But now I get to show everyone the Lindsay style." Lindsay cheered out, ignoring Millie's question.
"That's great Lindsay, hey unrelated but are you all done?" Millie asked.
"Yep, show the guys how I did Mallory! By the way, it's Danny's turn." Lindsay said, clueless how uncomfortable Millie was with the costume.
As Millie left the room, she mumbled to herself, "She somehow got my name wrong twice. I sure hope we win." Millie then noticed that Damien, Brody, and Tyler were all wincing at the sight. "Is it really bad?"
"Well, uh," Brody began to say until Tyler put his hands on his mouth.
"Nope, it's fine." Tyler quickly stated, as he knew Brody was going to accidentally hurt Lindsay's feelings.
"What?" Brody asked.
"I am not hurting Lindsay's feelings; I would never do that to her." Tyler told Brody.
"Oh, okay dudes, I guess so." Brody said in an unsure tone.
Confessional- Tyler
"I love Lindsay, I really do, but once the season is done, I may steer her away from fashion school." Tyler said chuckling. "But for now, I don't want to hurt her feelings and luckily the others agreed as well."
Milk Run Plane
Back over at the Milk Run plane, the plane had just landed as the camera showed Mickey running at a breakneck pace "Make way. I have an emergency!"
Zoey, Bridgette and Shawn walked out of the plane "That has to stink for you guys. Possibly literally." Bridgette noted.
"Everything's fine, I'm just going to have to do this challenge all by myself. But it could be worse." Zoey said, trying to make the most of a less than desirable situation. As all 3 of Zoey, Shawn, and Bridgette began working on the challenge with their respective animals.
Meanwhile Mickey was shown knocking on the door of a local bathroom frantically "Who can be hogging a whole bathroom?" Mickey screamed out as the camera panned to show the inside of the bathroom had a group of ducks applying makeup. Mickey, who was quickly growing impatient, decided to have an alternate plan. "That's it, I'm going in the bushes. Damn it!"
Duncan and Justin were the next ones to walk out of the plane and were laughing at the sight they were seeing. "Oh dude, I didn't think anyone could be allergic to being next to cows, that's too good." Duncan said smiling.
Justin however decided to be a smart-ass and decided to provoke Duncan, "Just as funny as when Courtney gave you a list of all the ways you sucked last season."
Duncan quickly sensed what Justin was doing and threw it right back in his face. "Really Justin, because I am pretty sure Bowie would do the same thing."
"Ha, real funny Duncan, Bowie and I don't have that kind of relationship especially not one like you and Courtney. We're just friends, not angry lovers who could have their own spin off." Justin snapped back.
"No, what's funny is seeing you in denial." Duncan stated.
"Oh, really bitch, you want to play the denial game. You are the one in denial Duncan. You have a crush on Gwen that's obvious and yet you are too chicken shit to end your relationship with Courtney. You want your cake and eat it too. Knowing you, you would just cheat on Courtney with Gwen instead of doing a decent thing for once in your life." Justin stated which temporarily left Duncan speechless as Justin walked away with the goat in hand. "I think I've made my point."
Duncan finally had something to say back as he walked a distance behind Justin "At least I'm in a relationship and can get a girlfriend."
Team Amazon Dance Studio
Back at Team Amazon's dance studio, Kitty and Cody face to face were shown dancing with Courtney and Gwen watching while Heather was giving instructions, "Okay now both of you step backwards to the left at the same time." Heather instructed.
Cody however was a big bag of nerves "I can do this; I can do this." Cody told himself as he stepped backwards in sync with Kitty.
After that movement, Heather decided to call for a break. "Okay everyone, regroup for about 15 minutes and we'll resume practicing the dance.
"Is that allowed?" Courtney asked in confusion.
"Even if it's not allowed, I just want a break from instructing people like you and Gwen." Heather said as a thinly veiled insult.
"But you haven't even…. Never mind." Courtney stated in frustration.
"Oh, break time? Great, great. I gotta go." Cody quickly said as he ran outside in a hurry.
Kitty was left confused at her close friend's sudden change in behavior "What's wrong with him? I should maybe check up on him. He seems really nervous."
Gwen however stepped in front of Kitty and decided to take matters into her own hands, "Don't worry I got this. I need to talk to him anyways."
"Oh okay." Kitty said as she noticed that it was now just her and Heather in the dance studio. "Wait, where did Courtney go?"
"I don't know, bathroom? Going back to the plane to make out with Scott, don't know and don't care." Heather said. "Look now that it's just the two of us I need to ask, have you and your two nerd friends Cody and Mickey figured out that I voted with you guys back in the Mediterranean to get rid of Sierra."
"We kind of just assumed that was the case." Kitty answered.
"That's great." Heather said, happy to finally have allies beyond Scott. "I do want to work together."
"If you don't mind me asking, what other people do we have to send Sierra out the plane?" Kitty asked.
"I know for a fact I have Emma and maybe Mickey is getting Zoey onto our side as well." Heather explained, in genuine excitement she was starting to get a group of people that were loyal to her. She knew down the road she would have to betray them, but for now she felt happy about her spot in the game, unaware that Scott had turned on her.
Outside Dance Studio
Outside of the dance studio, Cody was shown pacing back and forth, in a clear state of nerves, "It's fine. Everything is fine. We're just friends, it'll all be great. Just control yourself Cody, don't let him down" Cody said, trying to reassure himself.
Gwen walked out of the studio to check on Cody as she could sense something was wrong with Cody. Gwen quickly saw Cody and could tell he was not his normal cheery self, "What's wrong, Cody?"
Cody heard Gwen and despite his bucket of nerves he tried to present himself in a suave way, "Nothing, nothing is wrong. I'm just nervous about this dance. Trying to impress all you ladies. The Cody way!" Cody said, trying to suppress his nerves.
Gwen however was not buying it and could tell Cody was nervous and knew deep down she could get him to confess what was bothering him. "Is it me you are trying to impress?"
Cody paused, not realizing that Gwen was going to say that "... Of course." Cody said, still trying to put on a fake facade.
"I'm not convinced actually, now spill on what's actually bothering you, as you are way too nervous." Gwen accused. However, in that moment, what Cody did next throwed Gwen off guard. Cody just started hysterically crying and put his hands in his face as he sat down on the ground. This sudden turn of emotions threw Gwen for a loop, and she decided to ask, "Are you trying to cry so I can date you? You know that won't work Cody." Gwen said uncomfortably.
Cody stood up and decided to sit against the building as he slumped down to the ground, "Look. I just have a lot of conflicting emotions and feelings today. I'm just stressed out." Cody explained.
Gwen decided to sit down across from Cody and actually listen to him, her guard was up to some extent as this was Cody, but she could tell Cody had a lot of pent-up emotions "What do you have to be stressed about? The challenge?" Gwen asked.
Cody quickly replied, "No. I mean yes. But not really that."
"What could have you stressed out then? You have your number one fan in Sierra, and two new best friends in Kitty and I believe the other one is called Mickey. You have them and they are loyal to you as much as possible. Heck because of those 3, you have barely even talked to me. I half expected you to brag about my bra this season." Gwen chuckled at the end.
"Having Sierra around, first of all, is a constant stress factor. She won't leave me alone unless it's a challenge, doesn't listen to me and makes all 3 of us uncomfortable." Cody explained in fear. "She is insane."
"I understand. Once Heather's gone, I'll send Sierra home with you, Mickey, and Kitty." Gwen said, as she was being genuine.
However, the mention of Mickey and Kitty had Cody sigh as he continued on, "That's the other thing that is confusing me. It's those two."
"Wait, now I'm confused. I thought Kitty and Mickey were your friends Cody? Please tell me you're not just faking being friends with them and playing them for a fool? If you are going to be a miniature Heather, I am no longer your friend, and I will send you home so fast I swear-" Gwen asked and then threatened.
"No, of course not. Look Gwen, I have had a crush on you for the longest time, but I know deep down you'll never feel the same way. But is there anyway moving forward we can just be friends, as I remember you said that I was an annoying little brother during the first season. Can we be friends?" Cody asked.
Gwen simply gave Cody a quick hug as she began to speak "Of course Cody. There's nothing romantic with us, but I do look at you like a brother and not an annoying one. But you have to be honest with me."
After the hug broke Cody gave a huge sigh of relief, "That's sweet relief. I feel like I can move on from liking you like that."
Gwen decided to move the conversation back to what was on her mind, "Okay then what's the stress with Mickey and Kitty?"
"Well the thing that I am having to contend with is that Sierra genuinely makes me feel unsafe and I know that Mickey and Kitty feel the same way. The thing is I have a sort of crush on Kitty." Cody confessed in sweet relief.
"That's great. Then why are you stressed? You like a girl, it's no big deal." Gwen blankly said.
"I just think that Sierra will overreact as she gets annoyed with both Mickey and Kitty just being friends with me, and I need her gone, not to mention I don't know if Mickey feels the same way towards her. He always talks about how he doesn't feel romance, but I don't believe him, with how close he and Kitty are. It's just a lot going on in my mind." Cody explained.
"What do you need my help with then, you're smart enough to figure this stuff out." Gwen asked, confused with all the new information dumped on her.
"You just seem smart and it's just the whole Mickey part of it that's throwing me off. I don't want me dating Kitty to potentially ruin my friendship with him, heh, he's awesome." Cody said as he chuckled remembering his interactions with both of them.
"Okay, look Cody, do you remember my advice the last season during the second aftermath when the whole Trent stuff went down, what I said. Just be straight up honest with Mickey, I imagine he'll be supportive of you, if your friendship with him is actually strong he will respect it." Gwen told Cody.
At that moment, Cody finally seemed to relax at his predicament he found himself in. He could deal with Sierra later, but making sure Mickey was okay was his first priority, "Thanks Gwen. At least Kitty has her sister here to help her out, I don't have any family."
Gwen was admittedly thrown off by what Cody just said about Kitty having a sister, but before Gwen could say anything, Heather appeared, to get both of their attentions "Break time is over, Gwen your dance part is up."
Confessional- Gwen
"I do really hope that Cody is serious about no longer having a crush on me. Trust me that was exhausting, but I am honestly left with more questions." Gwen explained. "I didn't realize Sierra bugged him that much, and he actually has feelings for Kitty. But the way Cody talks about Mickey, why would he care so much about how he feels? It's weird." Gwen told herself. "Lastly Cody thinks Kitty has a sister here? That makes no sense. I don't think they would have multiple family twists, than again it is Chris."
Team Style Dance Studio
In Team Style's dance studio both duos of Owen and Noah, along with Julia and Sky were working together to perfect basic dance moves, with Sky and Owen instructed to carry Julia and Noah for visual appeal. While Julia and Sky were doing a pretty good job, but for Owen and Noah, they were struggling to perfect the dance move, as Bowie called out "Now!"
Noah took a running start, hoping this time everything would work out. Unfortunately for Noah, Owen's nerves got the best of him and Owen forgot to grab Noah which instantly made Noah bounce back and hit himself hard against the floor. "Of course." Noah said sarcastically as he laid down on the ground.
Bowie, who saw the accident, decided that the best course of action was to let things simmer down, "Okay, you know what. Let's take a 10 minute break. We could all probably use it at this point." Bowie stated. As all of them began to enjoy the break, Julia tapped Bowie's shoulder throwing him completely off guard "What the hell. Julia? What do you want?"
"Oh nothing important, just that Sky and I know that you masterminded the Eva vote and we want answers." Julia accused.
"Well she wants answers. I'm just with her since we're allies. I still think this is unnecessary, Julia." Sky said, trying to diffuse the situation.
"Oh just hush." Julia snapped back at Sky. "I know what I'm doing and so does Bowie!"
Bowie was the next to speak up, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Bowie said, lying through his teeth.
"Oh don't worry, I won't leak my source as I don't actually care that much. But Bowie, maybe you should get better allies as one of them leaked that you caused the whole thing." Julia said as she confidently walked away, as Bowie was left confused at what just happened. Sky just found the whole thing awkward and wanted to be anywhere else in that moment.
"Sorry." Sky said as she walked away from Bowie.
Confessional- Bowie
"Who would be stupid enough to tell Julia that I got rid of Eva?" Bowie asked, confused about what Julia was alluding too. "That's just stupid. I need to figure out who is the rat in the group and figure out what to do from there."
Outside Team Style's Dance Studio
At the same time Owen and Noah were just outside the studio to talk with each other. "Thank goodness we're on break, my back is killing me." Noah complained.
Owen instantly felt guilty, "Noah, buddy, I'm trying my best."
"Look, I know. I'm just really nervous. We're on the bottom of the team and we need a plan." Noah stated.
"Right, because besides Izzy I wouldn't want to dance with anyone else on the team." Owen confidently stated,
"That's not what I had in mind. I mean we are doing that, but moving on. We need to figure out who to work with moving forward on this team." Noah explained.
"Ooh we could work with Justin and Bowie. Justin and I get along." Owen stated happily, until he saw Noah shake his head. "Why not?"
"Justin and I hate each other. He's a vain, self obsessed ego maniac. How about Sky and Julia? That might be the way to go." Noah said as Owen looked unsure about Noah's suggestion.
"I'm not sure. I still think Julia voted Dave out in Morocco. But Sky seems cool." Owen explained his doubts.
"I still think it's Jo." Noah explained, unaware of how wrong he was.
"So that's probably a no for working with Jo and Brick then?" Owen asked.
"Yep, definitely. Also a no to Alejandro." Noah said as he saw Owen frowned, "Now what? You don't trust Alejandro do you?"
"I mean, I don't dislike him like you. But do you realize that the only people you haven't named are Trent, Jen, and Duncan? We can't be very picky with who we can work with." Owen said. "We have to treat it like I treat food."
"You are right. First priority is to perform well in the challenges so the team has no incentive to vote one of us out. But if you want to work with people like Jo and Brick, then I should be able to work with Julia and Sky." Noah said.
At that moment a light bulb seemed to pop up in Owen's head. "That's great, we both publicly work with separate people so we aren't lumped in together. We steer the target away from each other if our names are brought up." Owen said, in glowing excitement.
Noah was left in astonishment at what Owen just said, "That's a great idea. We'll fill each other in when we need to, but you'll be okay without me being by your side?" Noah asked.
"It'll be hard, but with Izzy gone you are my number one ally left, and I want you to make it far if I can't, this is our Hail Mary for both of us to stay in the game. After today, I will spend time with Jo and Brick, while you get close to Julia and Sky." Owen said as he and Noah hugged knowing it was for the best game wise.
Confessional- Noah
"I was completely stumped after Eva left to get myself out of the hole I am in. But Owen's right, we need a new game plan and maybe us voting separately, can maybe hide us working together for a while as other people emerge." Noah explained. "Besides Julia and Sky especially seem harmless. Things are looking up for Noah I would say."
Team Victory Dance Studio
Back at Team Victory's dance studio, Leshawna was instructing Geoff, Harold, Cameron, and Jasmine "Okay, step right, step left and then we'll shake it all around," Leshawna instructed,
Unfortunately for Leshawna, besides Harold everyone else was still horrified by her dancing and were reluctantly going along, "This is not going well" Cameron said to himself.
Luckily for them, Leshawna was out of breath and decided to catch her breath and take a break. "Ooh. Dancing sure is a workout. I love it. I'll be back in a few, gotta drink some water."
After Leshawna left the room, Jasmine decided to speak up, "I love Leshawna and I don't want to sound mean, but I don't think Leshawna's dancing is going to win the challenge for us."
"That's true. What do you suggest we do?" Geoff asked.
"Wait for the song to play and improvise from there." Cameron explained.
"Improvise?" Geoff asked as he was confused.
"You know, just let it come naturally. My mom watched a show called 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' and all that show did was improv." Cameron explained.
"Oh okay, now I get it." Geoff then turned to Harold who was suspiciously quiet, "Harold, you've been quiet, what do you think about this?" Geoff asked.
"I mean I'm not thrilled about this, but I'll agree to this under one condition. If this backfires, Leshawna and I don't take the blame for this." Harold offered.
"Deal." Jasmine said.
"That seems fair." Cameron noted as he turned to Jasmine, "Hey Jasmine can you lift me up?"
Jasmine did so with relative ease as Geoff went back to looking confused, "Why are we doing this, though?"
"Lifts, and twirls are more sophisticated types of dancing so that might help us win the challenge." Cameron further explained.
"Fair. (Sighs) I wonder if Bridgette is having an easier time?" Geoff asked himself.
Team Victory Sheep
Over with Team Victory who were at their teams float, it showed Bridgette walking up as Shawn was working on the sheep, "Sit still you pest. Come on. Perfect, very menacing I will say." Shawn said as he added a vampire sticker onto the sheep gently.
Bridgette had finally walked up to Shawn, "Hey Shawn I-" Bridgette said before seeing what Shawn was doing "What are you doing?"
"I'm decorating a live sheep with vampire teeth stickers, what does it look like I'm doing." Shawn flatly said before going back to work on his design. "Now don't bug me."
"Shawn, that's not what we agreed on at all. We said we were going to do a peaceful route." Bridgette tried to explain, in vain.
"I never agreed to do that, that is what you wanted to do, and today I want my voice and my vision to be heard." Shawn retorted back.
"I'm uh, I'm confused. What do you mean by that?" Bridgette stuttered.
"I mean, no one listens to me no matter what since DJ left a week ago or so, so I'm going to do my own thing." Shawn further explained.
"Okay I'm sorry that you feel like no one listened to you on the boat ride during the Mediterranean challenge, I can tell that's what this is about." Bridgette said.
"It's fine. I just don't know where to go game wise, as I know I don't have any allies or friends on the team." Shawn said as he put another sticker on the sheep.
"I'll be willing to be your friend and just so you know, since no one has told you. Jasmine volunteered to do your part of the last challenge due to the state you were in." Bridgette explained.
"Ugh, I should really apologize to her and make it up to her, I wonder if she's the one sitting out of the challenge." Shawn pondered. "She is great and between you and me, I kind of like her deep down."
"Awe that is so cute." Bridgette said.
"Thanks, promise not to tell?" Shawn asked Bridgette who gave a thumbs up.
Jumbo Jet Economy Class
Back at the jumbo jet plane, Scott, Ezekiel, and Emma were all waiting for the challenge to be done, or at least Ezekiel and Emma were as Emma was interested to get to know Ezekiel. "This challenge is something I would be awful at, eh."
"Oh really why?" Emma asked.
"Because I am a horrible dancer. Days before we left this season, my mother told me that my failed attempt at a rap career was embarrassing, that I have no rhythm, and she was ashamed." Ezekiel explained.
"At least you still have a mother." Scott said to himself off screen but the camera audio picked up on the strange admission to himself.
"Oh my gosh. Well don't worry. I can show you how to dance. Whenever I am bored or just need some alone time I sometimes just go into the confessional to dance and let the stress go away. It helps that Chase is gone. Here let me show you." Emma said as she started dancing.
Despite cringing on the inside, Ezekiel wanted to play nice and joined Emma with dancing, "Yeah we got this, eh. We should have totally been the dancers." Ezekiel happily said. Scott heard the commotion and peaked his head out as he cringed at the sight, before sinking his head back.
Confessional- Scott
"My eyes are probably never going to recover from seeing that. But sitting out of today's challenge has its perks." Scott said as he pulled out the meat grinder from the New York challenge. "I have plans for you, just need to run it by Gwen, heh heh."
Team Style Fashion Room
At Team Style's fashion room, Jen was shown working on Brick's outfit, as she had already completed the outfits for Trent, Jo, and Alejandro. Brick however was very comfortable with what was going on "This is such a fun challenge ma'am."
Jen wasn't particularly listening to Brick, but did pick up on what he just called her, "Just call me Jen. I don't want to be called ma'am, it makes me feel old. I'm not like Julia who is afraid of aging in general, but still just call me Jen okay?" Jen asked.
"Yes ma'am, I mean Jen, sorry. Anyways this challenge is something I could never be a part of back home." Brick explained,
"If you don't mind, can I ask why? Your outfit is done but you have piqued my curiosity." Jen said.
"I have always wanted to pursue fashion school once I was all done with Cadet training, but back where I live, it is frowned upon for men to do non masculine roles, such as army training, farming, but if a guy wants to be a professional chef, a fashion designer or hair stylist they get all kinds of horrible things and shamed. It's kind of scary." Brick explained.
"That's annoying and kind of ridiculous. Brick, my best friend back home. Tom is my partner at our fashion blog, he is into fashion, but while he has a feminine side and is not the most athletic, he is very secure in who he is." Jen answered back.
"That's great Jen. Thank you." Brick said as they gave each other a mutual hug, something Trent could have sworn he saw but dismissed.
Meanwhile
Right outside the room was Jo and Alejandro, both impatiently waiting for the challenge to be over with. "Ugh, what is taking those two so long?" Alejandro asked in annoyance.
Jo laughed at Alejandro's anger, "Aw is someone sad that all Jen said to you was to shut up so Jen could get the measurements? Or that she is with the cadet boy?" Jo mocked.
Alejandro however scoffed in annoyance, "As if. I just wanted more time with her. Besides she is into Trent."
"Revolting." Jo said in disgust.
"Ugh, not in a romantic sense you idiot. But to use her as an ally, until I no longer need her." Alejandro told Jo.
Jo was right back to laughing at Alejandro's tough guy display "It's hilarious that you are showing your villainous side. Not to mention your plans. You really are stupid." Jo laughed.
"Well the way I see it Chica, there is no point in us being nice to each other as you tried to get rid of me back in Morocco, and while I voted Owen out last time, I was thinking you were leaving last night. So as far as I am concerned I can treat you however you want, it's not like anyone outside of Brick or Owen will believe you anyway." Alejandro explained, growing more confident.
"Bring it on lover-boy, I am not afraid of you." Jo said as she saw Jen and Brick leave the fashion room.
Brazilian Beach
Zoey had finally finished the design for the cow and wanted to find Mickey, so he knew the challenge was done. She had been looking for a half hour and had given up faith in finding him. "Ugh where could he be? Might as well enjoy the evening sky for the next 20 minutes I think?" Zoey said to herself, before seeing Mickey at the edge of the water by a bunch of paragliders as he looked at his reflection in the water. "Mickey, there you are!" Zoey called out.
Mickey was broken out of his trance and saw Zoey, "Oh hi, Zoey." Mickey flatly said without any emotion, still upset about their last interaction.
"Hey, I got the cow decorated and in position for the challenge. So, you don't have to worry about an allergic reaction at least heh." Zoey said, trying to lift the mood.
"Thanks." Mickey said as the air was now silent between the two of them, that was until Zoey spoke up next.
"Look, I am sorry, I messed up by saying you've never fell in love with someone and that was wrong of me to say. It wasn't my business." Zoey said, apologizing.
Mickey took a deep breath and spoke next, "You are right. Zoey, I haven't fallen in love but I'm hoping someone somewhere is out there for me. But all I want to say is that there's something about me that makes it so it's hard for me to date and no one here knows. Not you, not Kitty, not even Cody. That's all I want to say about my love situation." Mickey explained.
"I respect that. So, are we good?" Zoey asked.
"Of course we are." Mickey told Zoey. "Can I just ask, why Topher and why do you feel so strong about him?"
"It's kind of hard to explain I guess, maybe it was love at first sight, as stupid as that sounds. He was my first friend I made when I came here, and I was so nervous about making friends here. But now Topher is with Anne Maria." Zoey explained.
"That must mean that you are in the friend zone." Mickey said bluntly.
"Ugh, don't remind me." Zoey said in annoyance.
"Oh, I'm sorry, but the way I see it is you can try to get your mind off of him or tell Topher everything straight up." Mickey told Zoey.
"That's tempting. I will hopefully sooner than later, just for now I want to enjoy the challenge, and once again, I am sorry about before." Zoey said.
"It's fine. Trust me, I am not going to hold a grudge. Besides, I wanna be your friend if you want to." Mickey said, finally showing some joy in his voice.
"Of course, Mickey. We should probably head back to the team, as the judging starts soon." Zoey told Mickey,
"Go on without me, I don't want to be near the cow, and I want a little more alone time." Mickey said as Zoey nodded her head and walked away as Mickey looked back out at the water, "So that's what love is." Mickey said to himself. What he meant by that however was only something he knew.
Confessional- Zoey
"With Anne Maria being my new sworn enemy, I need another friend. Today with Mickey while rough was eye opening, having him as an ally could work. I can't trust Heather as I saw the first two seasons and I know she is very manipulative, but I will stay on her good side." Zoey explained. "Besides, if we somehow end up in the Final 2. I feel confident that I could beat Mickey. But regardless he is kind of cool. I still have my alliance with ah, Topher and bleh, Anne Maria. But with me being on Heather's good side, and potentially Mickey as an ally. I feel secure with where I am in the team."
Confessional- Mickey
"Besides Cody and Kitty, I have never been that open with someone like I was with Zoey. It just felt different, but nice, but some secrets I can't tell." Mickey said looking down. "I can't go through what happened in high school again, I just can't."
Challenge Results
Everyone sans Mickey was gathered around just outside the dance studios, with everyone getting in position. Each team had a large parade float with the models supposed to be positioned near the float while the dancers had to be on the large float. The dance instructor and fashion designer could only watch, while the milk run duos had to stand next to their animals.
On Team Amazon's float, Zoey was putting the final touches on the cow, as Topher walked up to her, "Hey Zoey. Where's Mickey?" He asked.
"Turns out that Mickey is lactose intolerant. To where he can't even be near a cow so he's by the beach down the road waiting for the challenge to be done." Zoey explained.
"That's unfortunate. Well, what do you think of this costume that Katie made?" Topher asked as he tried to make a funny pose and face, as he was enjoying the costume.
"The costume looks nice. Katie did a great job with it." Zoey said.
"Even if Anne Maria doesn't like it." Topher said, until he all of a sudden remembered something, "Oh there's something I've been needing to tell you." Topher began to say.
Unfortunately for Zoey, and in this case Topher, Anne Maria walked up, "Oh hell no." Anne Maria said to herself. "Yo, Topher get in position now."
"Oh, looks like that's my cue, I'll talk to you later as the challenge will start soon. Bye Zoey." Topher said walking back to Anne Maria with her hand in hand as Zoey just sighed.
"Maybe someday. Just not today." Zoey said to herself.
The scene flashed to Blaineley and Chris, "Congrats everyone on actually finishing the challenge. But now is the time to judge how you did, with the musical numbers putting the finishing touch on what each team has done."
"First up is Team Style, Jen who is your team having sing today." Chris asked.
"We're going to have Trent sing." Jen announced.
"Expected. Now Leshawna you got to pick the song the Team Style's singer had to sing. What song is that?" Blaineley asked.
"Trent will be singing, 'Hot N Cold' by Katy Perry." Leshawna said as Lindsay squealed in delight.
"I love this song." Lindsay said as she was trying to contain her excitement.
"Now it's important to note that Trent, you have to sing the song as the guy in the song, and have it make the best sense as you can." Chris explained.
"This is actually workable, what do you say, Justin?" Bowie asked. But Justin was just staying silent as he didn't want Duncan to have any satisfaction.
"Hit it Chef!" Chris yelled out as the background music began to play.
"Guys I love this song; I should have thought of this song." Lindsay said in pure excitement.
Team Style's Musical Number
(Italics indicate song, regular text indicates non singing during the song)
Trent began singing improvising the song, if need be, "I change my mind like a girl changes clothes, yeah I PMS like a bitch, trust me she would know.
Off screen you can hear Duncan yell out, "Of course!"
Trent continued on, as he wasn't bothered by what Duncan said, "I always overthink, always speak cryptically, any girl should know that I'm not good enough for them."
Luckily for Team Style, the dancers were reacting to the lyrics as Owen said to himself "This is so much fun."
"I know, big guy. But let's focus." Noah reminded Owen as they both prepared for the chorus.
As Trent continued on singing, he went to the chorus, "I'm Hot and I'm Cold, I'm yes then and I'm a no, in and then I'm out, I'm up and then I'm down." Trent sang, with the camera panned over to Jen who was mesmerized by Trent's performance. "I was wrong and I'm still not right. It's black and white. We fight and break up, then kiss and make up."
The camera panned over to Bowie, who was shocked and was standing next to Justin as he whispered, "Wow he is a natural at this."
"I agree. He was great when we toured together." Justin said jokingly, but oddly tense as he could tell Duncan was watching this interaction.
Trent had moved onto the second verse, "We used to be just like twins, so in sync, same energy but now I'm a dead battery, used to laugh about nothing, now I'm plain boring. She should know that I am not gonna change."
While Trent was singing Julia and Sky were struggling with Noah dancing over to the two of them, "It's not like me to help out, but you guys should follow my example."
While Sky was eager to join Noah's example with Trent sang the bridge, "Ugh does the egghead really know what he's doing." Julia snapped.
"Julia, back off." Sky said, elbowing Julia. "Noah just means well. We got this if we work together."
"Fine, whatever." Julia said, unfortunately for her the song faded out. "What the hell."
Trent was done singing and was tired out, "How, how was it?" Trent asked.
Chris cleared his throat as he began to speak up, "It was really good, so to start off, Trent you still have a great singing voice, and it was really fun to watch. As for the dancers, you guys were fine, Noah and shockingly Owen did a great job. Sky you did a good job picking up at the end, as for Julia. You did nothing worth bragging about." Chris criticized.
"Excuse me?" Julia yelled out in anger as everyone was shocked at her anger. "Oh, I mean I'll do better next time." Julia said trying to course correct while Jo found her outburst funny.
Blaineley spoke up, "As for the fashion models and designs for you guys. Jen, give yourself some credit girl, the designs were really good. As for the animal, which in this case was a single goat, Duncan and Justin, I'm disappointed but not shocked, what happened?"
"We don't want to talk about it." Justin and Duncan said at the same time as the goat was nowhere to be seen at all.
Confessional- Trent
"Awesome dudes, I may have won the challenge for my team. Also did you see the way Jen beamed when she heard she did a great job, that's so amazing." Trent said blushing, before he calmed down. "She is a great friend to have."
Team Amazon's Musical Number
"Okay, Team Amazon, you are up. Katie, who's your team's singer?" Chris asked.
"Um…... Ella." Katie said quietly.
"Okay Bowie, you get to pick the song for Team Amazon."
"Well, I picked "When You Say Nothing At All" specifically the Alison Krauss version." Bowie explained.
"Alison Sauerkraut? Who's that?" Lindsay asked as everyone ignored her, which annoyed her greatly.
"Are we screwed?" Courtney asked Gwen, who was also nervous.
"Ella's a good singer, but this isn't an easy song. Let's hope for the best." Gwen reasoned.
"Okay hit it Chef." Blaineley called out.
As the music began playing Cody was shown still being incredibly nervous, "I don't know if I can do this. I've never heard this song. Oh my gosh I'm going to mess this all up. Then I will get voted out."
Kitty had luckily taken his hand "Just relax, let the music speak to you." at that notion Cody had started to quiet down as he and Kitty began slowly dancing hand in hand.
Ella began singing soon after "It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart"
As soon as Ella sang that first note, everyone who was listening to her was transfixed on her performance along with Cody and Kitty's slow dance with Jen saying it best, "Wow! This is beautiful!"
"Without saying a word, you can light up the dark." Ella kept singing. "Try as I may, I could never explain. What I hear when you don't say a thing."
As the song picked up, Cody's nerves shot even higher as he began to fall backwards off the float, luckily for him, Kitty grabbed his hand and pulled him back in close with her "I got you. I won't let you go."
"Thanks." Cody said awkwardly, completely transfixed on Kitty.
"The smile on your face lets me know that you need me, there's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me. A touch of your hand let's me know you'll catch me if I ever fall. You say it best when you say nothing at all." Ella sang, as she sang the chorus, in an angelic tone.
The camera first panned over to Harold and Leshawna as Harold whispered in Leshawna's ears "I love you.", with Leshawna giving him a thumbs up, still wanting to hide their relationship.
With Cody and Kitty their dancing was getting better as Cody's nerves were getting better, as Cody noticed how calm Kitty was "How are you not at least a little nervous."
"I am, but we're just friends doing a slow dance we'll be fine." Kitty reassured Cody, whose heart sank a bit when Kitty said friends.
As Ella continued singing the scene shifted to Mickey walking up as he could overhear Ella's singing and wanted to see who was singing it, as the song was now reaching an instrumental break reaching the bridge. Mickey saw both Cody and Kitty dancing slowly and at that moment, he didn't know how to feel. Seeing his two best friends dancing was great, but he felt like he himself was someone they would forget, and he started to see one of them in a different light entirely. "I'm happy for them." Mickey said to himself, trying to convince himself of something he didn't actually feel.
First Cody could see Mickey and gave him a silent smile as he whispered in Kitty's ear, "Mickey's here watching us dance."
Kitty gleamed with happiness, "Ooh turn me around, so I can see him." Kitty asked. As Cody did turn them around however Mickey was no longer there, which shocked Kitty "Where is he? I thought he was here."
"I could have sworn I saw him. Regardless, can we just enjoy this moment, just the two of us right now?" Cody asked as he set his head on Kitty's shoulder and Kitty did soon after.
"Of course, this is great Cody." Kitty said in a relaxed tone.
Ella was wrapping up the song with the final verse "You say it best, when you say nothing at all."
As the song wrapped up, Ella took a deep breath "Thank you." Ella said as she took a bow.
With the song done, everyone who was present instantly stood up and gave a standing ovation, regardless of what team they were on. Everyone was stunned by Ella's vocals, Cody and Kitty's dance, and the whole display. "Wow. I am stunned, I looked up the lyrics to make sure you weren't doing anything stupid Ella and you nailed it."
"I'm not a fan of that type of song" Chef grumbled, "But you've got a gift girl. Use it." Chef claimed. "What says you Blaineley?"
"I want to give a shout out to the fashion design, the pink atheistic brought the whole performance. I forgot, who was the fashion designer for your team?" Blaineley asked.
"Me?" Katie said meekly.
"You should be proud of yourself." Blaineley said as Katie cheered and she ran up to Ella and both squealed in happiness that they did a great job, giving each other a hug.
"One last thing, the dance between Kitty and Cody was great to watch, as I'm confident that song lends itself to a slow dance." Chris said.
"Thank you, Chris. Isn't that great to hear Cody? Cody?" Kitty said, before turning around to see that Cody was now nowhere in sight.
"Where is that little runt? This concerns him as well." Heather asked in annoyance.
"I think he took off for the bathroom." Topher explained.
Local Bathroom
The scene flashed to Cody who was washing his face constantly with water as he seemed to be in a state of panic, "I like her, I genuinely like her, and I don't even know how to feel. What if Mickey also likes her as well as I think she likes him instead. I also don't want to ruin my friendship with him. I don't know, I DON'T KNOW!" Cody yelled out in frustration as his face sunk into the sink.
At the same time Mickey walked into the bathroom "Thought I heard you, Cody. I'll tell you what… the bathrooms here are constantly occupied." Mickey stated before noticing Cody's head in the sink, "What's wrong, are you sick, sad about something? I saw your guy's dance and it was great. I mean I'm usually the emotional one heh," Mickey said.
Cody stood up in anger and spoke sternly out of nowhere, "I'm just confused, and this doesn't concern you right now." Cody yelled out as he walked away and slammed the bathroom door in a presumed rage.
Mickey could only look on in absolute confusion at his best friend's display of anger that seemed to come out of nowhere in Mickey's eyes, "Did I do something wrong? I hope he's okay." Mickey wondered before his stomach grumbled "Darn it. Don't have time for that."
Team Victory's Musical Number
Cameron and Geoff were shown looking at Chris as their display was shown as it looked like he had an indifferent look, "This can't be good dude." Geoff whispered.
Jasmine took a deep breath and whispered over to both of them, "We're ready mates, and if worse comes to worse Cameron, we'll throw you as a hail Mary."
"Okay Heather what song do you have planned for Team Victory?" Chris asked.
"I decided that they have 'Girlfriend' by Avril Lavigne."
"Who is Team Victory's singer, Lindsay?"
"It's Tyler. I pick Tyler." Lindsay happily said.
"Yes." Heather silently said to herself.
Confessional- Heather
"I picked that song, with the intention that Lindsay would pick Tyler, and she fell for the trap. Consider this karma for her leading to me being bald on national television. Now we're even."
Start Of Song
The music began as Duncan, Justin and Bowie standing next to each other as Duncan told both of them "This will be an absolute trainwreck."
Tyler began singing; however, his tone was off from the moment he began to sing, "Hey hey you you, I don't like your girlfriend, no way no way I think you need a new one, hey hey you you I could be your girlfriend." Tyler sang as everyone was jaw dropped at what they were hearing.
As the dancers tried to dance Geoff whispered in Jasmine's ears, "Do we go for the hail Mary?"
"I don't know." Jasmine said as her nerves were heightened as Tyler kept singing. "Let's see how this goes.
"You're so fine, I want you mine, you're so delicious. I think about you all the time you're so addictive, don't you know what I can do to make you feel alright." Tyler sang out
"All right, all right, all right." Lindsay said out loud cheering for Tyler.
"Don't pretend I think you know I'm damn precious, and hell yeah, I'm the mother fucking princess. I can tell you like me too and you know I'm right. Because she's like so whatever and you can do so much better, I think we should get together now, and that's what everyone's talking about." Tyler kept singing,
While Tyler kept singing, Emma looked on in astonishment next to Heather, "Is this what you wanted?"
"Everything and more." Heather said in glee as Tyler continued to sound awful.
"You are diabolical. I respect it." Emma stated.
Back on the float itself, Geoff was still nervous "Dudes, what do we do, this challenge is up to us. Tyler is blowing it." Geoff wondered as he heard a loud rip sound.
"Oh, come on!" Millie yelled out.
"Millie's costume just ripped off as Lindsay made it too small." Cameron noticed.
"You guys are right, the costumes suck, the sheep is confusing, Tyler can't sing. We're going for a miracle. Geoff stands in front of Harold and spins him around, "I'll throw Cameron up, and let's hope for a miracle, you guys both okay with this?" Jasmine asked.
"We don't have a better option, Jasmine. We'll do it when Tyler gets to the bridge. Get in positions guys. I'll distract Harold so he doesn't raise any suspicions." Cameron stated. "Oh no it's starting. Improvise guys."
"In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger." Tyler sang terribly off key.
Harold was still dancing in his own world humming to the song "Cause I can do it better." Harold told himself. However, at that moment Harold realized he was the only one dancing right behind Tyler. "Wait where is everyone?"
"Now!" Cameron yelled out. "Throw me."
"Throw? He's not, woah!" Harold said to himself until Geoff picked Harold up and spun him around like a football. "Help me!"
Jasmine and Cameron meanwhile performed the former throwing the latter into the air, unfortunately for both of them, Jasmine threw Cameron too hard as he was sent screaming into the air, and then came back down to the ground tucked in out of fear, but in doing so he became a missile heading straight for the float, something Leshawna noticed "Hit the deck!" Leshawna yelled out.
The camera cut to Tyler who was finishing the song up "No way, no way. Hey! Hey!" Tyler sang out as Cameron crashed right in the float leading to the float getting destroyed and both Tyler and Cameron being trapped underneath it. Tyler emerged quickly out of the rubble still stunned, "Did we win?"
Lindsay walked up to the judges as she avoided the disaster, and also asked "How did we do?"
"How'd you do? That performance stood out." Chris began to say.
"It stood out?" Lindsay questioned, before a smile appeared on her face, as Lindsay felt very proud in that moment, "Yay!" Lindsay cheered.
"Yeah, it stood out for all the wrong reasons, for starters the sheep was confusing. Whatever design Bridgette and Shawn went for didn't look cohesive at all." Chris sternly said.
"That was expected." Bridgette said looking away in shame.
Chef spoke up next, "Whoever put Tyler's hair in a Mohawk never do that again, that is ugly. The crash at least got his hair back to normal"
"Oh." Lindsay said looking down at her idea for Tyler.
"Brody and Millie look like clowns, oh and it looks like Millie's fashion piece is already torn apart because it's too small." Blaineley accused.
"Finally, the dancing, float and singer performance. This will be TV ratings gold, but that being said, this was also a disaster for you guys. First of all, Lindsay picking Tyler as the lead singer was a disaster, he can't sing worth a shit." Chris accused.
"Hey!" Tyler said in protest.
"I'm just telling it how I see it. Tyler butchered the song and didn't make any sense the way he sung it, oh and besides Harold no one did much dancing, and whatever the move with Harold being used as a spinning frisbee and Cameron as a projectile ensured a loss even more, oh and now I have to pay for the damages caused. Team Victory, you lose, and are sending someone home, the good news is you are ripe for choice." Chris concluded.
"Team Amazon, you guys get first class for the challenge and due to the discrepancy between Team Style and Team Victory in this challenge I do think a tiny reward is due for Team Style, so you guys get extra pillows to sleep in Economy Class as we head to our next destination." Blaineley said.
"Okay, that's great." Justin said as he was happy the team came in second since he could have been in danger since he didn't help with the challenge.
The camera panned to Ezekiel who managed to get Cameron out of the destruction, "You okay, eh?" Ezekiel asked as Cameron began limping, as his leg didn't look good at all.
"So much pain." Cameron said sadly as he continued to limp with Ezekiel supporting him.
"It's okay buddy, eh." Ezekiel reassured.
Confessional- Leshawna
"I'm pissed. Straight up pissed." Leshawna said glaring in anger. "I don't know what the hell Geoff and Jasmine were thinking, dancing like Harold did was the best choice and they completely ignored it. Harold didn't get hurt but could have, and Cameron did get hurt."
Confessional- Cameron
Cameron was shown in a boot for his leg, and a sling for his arm, "Okay so my idea was a disaster, and I was in way over my head, if I survive tonight, I'll be stunned."
Confessional- Bridgette
"Today's challenge was a disaster for us, I'm safe, but what was Geoff thinking?" Bridgette asked. "Next challenge, if I get the chance, I'm going to lead us to victory. I can't chance it."
Confessional- Damien
"I am so nervous about tonight's elimination. Tyler and Lindsay are both options to get sent home, as both messed up, but they're both in my endgame plans. This is not good folks. Not good."
Cargo Hold
In the cargo hold, Damien was pacing back and forth, while Millie was trying to calm him down, "I'm telling you Damien. You're really overthinking this whole thing." Millie said.
"I'm not, it is going to be Tyler or Lindsay they screwed up the challenge. It's only logical that everyone would vote for one of them. Ugh, why didn't we say anything with what Lindsay was doing?" Damien wondered out loud.
"If we told Lindsay that her fashion choices were horrible, you and I both know she would have a meltdown about it and cry her eyes out." Millie explained. "She is a mess when she is crying."
"You're right Millie, but now both Tyler and Lindsay are both in danger." Damien explained even more frantically.
"You are really overthinking this, Damien. The obvious boot isn't them." Millie said, as she was trying to explain. "It's Cameron."
"How?" Damien asked.
"Cameron is seriously injured so the team is probably going to look at him as a liability and send him home for his own sake." Millie explained
"They won't, look I am going to vote for Leshawna and hope for the best. But I'm telling you, Tyler or Lindsay is going to somehow get eliminated tonight." Damien tried to reason.
Confessional- Millie
(Facepalm) "I get along with Damien, I really do. But he has this tendency to completely overthink things, and it's exhausting. I'm sure that Cameron is leaving. But I don't know what to do to quell Damien and his paranoia."
Elimination Ceremony
The elimination ceremony was underway as Chef was the one who was at the podium, "It's time to vote you maggots, someone is getting eliminated in the next 15 minutes."
Confessional- Damien
"I hope this gamble pays off." (stamps unknown passport)
Confessional- Leshawna
"I'm sorry. I am a woman of my word, but I don't think you're going home."
Confessional- Cameron
"If I somehow stay, that will be impossible. But all I have is hope. (Stamps passport) ow!"
Confessional- Millie
"This move should help my game, and this is for the best, sorry."
Back To Elimination Ceremony
Chef had just got done reading the votes, and had the marshmallow plate ready to go, "The following players are safe with zero votes and will get a marshmallow. Jasmine, Shawn, Harold, Brody, Millie, Ezekiel, Bridgette, Damien and Tyler. None of you got votes."
Tyler who was sitting next to Damien cheered out, "Isn't this awesome dude? We're both safe with no votes."
"I wouldn't be celebrating just yet, Tyler. As the remaining players of Lindsay, Geoff, Cameron, and Leshawna, all received votes."
"Good luck." Harold whispered in Leshawna's ears as Leshawna looked nervous as she was near the bottom.
"You each have your reasons for being down here, Lindsay your fashion choices and choice of singer were not smart at all. Geoff you spun a teammate in a circle like a frisbee, Leshawna you were the dance instructor, and you let the inmates run the asylum so to speak. Finally, Cameron, you are injured, and your teammates may see you as a liability in future challenges. All of you step down, NOW!" Chef yelled out.
"Good luck buddy." Ezekiel said as he whispered in Cameron's ears.
"Safe with two votes each are Geoff and Lindsay. Here are your marshmallows. Back to your seats"
"Oh, thank goodness, something about getting a marshmallow when you have to wait for it, makes it taste even better." Lindsay said.
"The final vote tonight was 6 to 3, the final player safe is…
…
…
…..
….
…. Leshawna." Chef called out.
"Thank goodness." Leshawna told herself.
"No." Ezekiel said sadly looking down, while Cameron sighed in acceptance, and Leshawna sighed in relief. While Harold was shown thinking about how the votes went down.
"Cameron, you've officially been eliminated from the Total Drama World Race. Any final words?" Chef asked.
"Good luck you guys, I mean it. No hard feelings. It was my idea to do the last second craziness with the dance. I have no one to blame but myself." Cameron stated as he noticed Ezekiel was sad. "Zeke, are you ok?"
"No. How can I be okay, eh? You're my best friend here, you gave me a chance, and now your gone. I'm going to miss you so much." Ezekiel said as he hugged Cameron which Cameron reciprocated even in pain.
"I will too. You are a good guy and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Do your best. At least we got to be friends and not get pitted against each other oh and (whispers) find out more about Millie's journal." Cameron told Ezekiel as Chef handed him his parachute. "Bye everyone." Unfortunately for Cameron, the parachute was a mess as Cameron got tangled up in the parachute and fell out of the plane soon after.
"Guess we should have made that safer for him. Oh well. Team Victory head back to Economy Class." Chef instructed.
"I already miss him, eh." Ezekiel said, as Harold looked at Ezekiel weirdly.
Confessional- Harold
"I am thrilled that Leshawna is still here, but I am just confused about the votes." Harold said. "When I promised Leshawna that Ezekiel and I were going to make amends, Ezekiel and I promised we wouldn't vote each other out or our closest allies. So, for me, it was Leshawna, and for Ezekiel it was Cameron. Leshawna and I threw our votes onto Geoff to honor the deal. But Leshawna got 3 votes, and before Cameron left, he said he was the ringleader of what happened during the dance part, so maybe he and Ezekiel voted Leshawna out but who would be the third vote?"
Confessional- Ezekiel
"This is the first elimination I was a part of that actually hurt, going into this season, I wanted to win, and more importantly I didn't want to be the first person eliminated, that last one was easy once Laurie left." Ezekiel said. "The eliminations until now didn't hurt, Laurie voted for me so why should I care, Beth and I weren't close, same with DJ." Ezekiel explained as he then sobbed for a second. "But Cameron and I instantly bonded, and now he's gone. He and I voted for Lindsay to honor Harold and mine's agreement. Hopefully Harold now knows I want to make things right with him. But Cameron, I will miss you buddy."
Confessional- Millie
"I did end up voting for Leshawna like Damien suggested, but his paranoia calmed down, after Lindsay and Tyler stopped by to talk to us."
Flashback
Damien and Millie were standing with Damien having his hands on hips "So you're telling me that people like Shawn, Jasmine, and Bridgette are all voting Cameron out no matter what?" Damien asked Tyler and Lindsay who both nodded. "Okay well I have a plan that should help us in the game. I've noticed something,"
"What?" Millie asked.
"Harold and Ezekiel have been getting closer and being friendly after that big blowup a couple weeks ago so I have an idea." Damien said as the camera went static to him in the confessional.
Confessional- Damien
"If there is anyone who is as paranoid or thinks about this game like I do, it would be Harold. He's as smart as me, and what would set Harold off is if someone voted out Leshawna." Damien explained. "Millie told me during the first couple of seasons Harold was in love with Leshawna and would do anything for her, so as a gamble Millie, Tyler and I voted for Leshawna and the plan is to pin our votes on Ezekiel, Cameron, and Geoff. Tyler was hesitant to do this, but we needed to ensure Leshawna was in the bottom 3 and after explaining this keeps both him and Lindsay safe, he was all ears. I really hope this gamble pays off as I need anyone to be targeted that isn't me or my alliance."
First Class
In First Class it was nighttime as many of the team were getting ready to get some sleep, "I'm going to sleep." Katie said as she was smiling at how she did with the challenge today. "I am so proud."
"Same here, today was great for our team. Feeling motivated to keep playing for Sadie?" Ella asked.
"More than anything. She would be so proud of us." Katie said as both fell asleep.
The lights were now off, as the camera showed Scott and Gwen by the emergency exit with the meat grinder in hand "You have the meat grinder, right?" Scott asked.
"I do, but why? How is this supposed to get rid of Heather?" Gwen asked.
"Simple, throw it out and whenever that meat grinder is supposed to be used for a future challenge, we accuse Heather of throwing it out." Scott explained. "Now throw it out." Scott demanded.
Gwen did so, as Scott quickly shut the door, "I hope I don't regret this." Gwen said to herself.
"I promise you won't. It's Heather." Scott reassured.
The camera showed a confident Scott, and a guilt-ridden Gwen walked away after what they did, as the camera showed Mickey opening his eyes, indicating he heard what had just happened. "Why did they do that?" Mickey asked.
End Of Episode
The final scene was showing Chris and Blaineley in the pilot compartment "What will the fallout be from the Cameron vote, and how will Damien's plan shake out?" Chris asked.
"With the meat grinder gone, how will that affect Team Amazon, and finally what is wrong with Cody?" Blaineley asked next. "Find out next time on Total Drama World Race?"

Author Notes
So, this chapter is probably the most different from Canon so far, as I watched the actual Ridonculous Race episode and I couldn't come up with a challenge between the bullet ants, coconuts or the costumes. However a line about the costumes being for Carnivale piqued my curiosity so I decided to look into it, and that's where the challenge idea came in. I did want to also still incorporate the milk run plane as well. Another thing to note is that this chapter was one where I had to introduce some new dynamics and bonds, and some more storylines that will emerge, as I wanted everyone to at least have some spotlight. Now for the song selection, I wanted Trent's to be unconventional but for it to somehow work, Ella's was supposed to fit perfectly, and Tyler's was meant to be a disaster. The song choices hopefully showed that.
Now time for the eliminated player, and that being Cameron. I want to say I like Cameron a lot. But with him being the only Revenge person on Team Victory it was so hard to come up with a storyline for him. I decided to have him pair up with Ezekiel and give Ezekiel some development with that friendship, but besides revealing his past to Millie, I was struggling with what to do with him, especially since I already had plenty of characters in the nerdy archetype, and also the facing adversity plotline with Mickey (not to mention a lot more with Mickey if that wasn't obvious). So I figured cutting him early was the best way to go. As for how to eliminate him, I kind of just decided to have him be a little in over his head this chapter and get mildly injured due to his own stupidity. A bit of an ironic elimination in a way I think. Sorry for all the Cameron fans.
Now in the next chapter, we head to Germany with stuffing sausages, mountain goats, dancing, and the fallout from the meat grinder will definitely be in the next chapter. Would love to hear feedback and reviews on how to improve, or what you are enjoying, and I am looking forward to the next one, it should be a treat for you guys. Until then, have a great day if you're reading this.
